At IBC2004, Iridas unveiled SpeedGrade DI, a new application that offers full editing and conform features, compositing and unlimited primary and secondary color-grading tools in real time.

SpeedGrade DI is compatible with the existing Iridas playback applications toolset. It includes shot versioning and comparisons, an unlimited number of picture tracks, multiple playheads, vector-based masks and integration with external hardware control panels.

The new application features non-destructive grading tracks, that allow flexible grading setups on individual shots, segments of the time line or even entire films. Grading parameters are saved as XML files and exported to FrameCycler MP so every artist can see the shots as they will appear in the finished work.
